Savannah Bars: Where to Start

Pick a Savannah bar by the night you want: a hidden basement, a rooftop, a dive or an Irish pub. Then take your drink for a walk.

Savannah has a bar for almost any night. Start with the kind of night you want.

Hidden Savannah bars

Alley Cat Lounge is down a flight of stairs off a back lane. The Hot Eye is under a hotel. La Aparicion is behind a bookcase. See how to find each door.

Savannah rooftop bars

Peregrin was the readers' best rooftop for 2026. Bar Julian calls itself the tallest in the city.

Savannah dive bars

The Original Pinkie Masters won best dive bar in 2026. Locals also name the lounge at American Legion Post 135.

Savannah Irish pubs

O'Connell's is built for talking, with no TVs. Wexford in City Market won best pub in 2026.

Savannah beer

Service Brewing is veteran owned, and readers voted it the best brewery in 2026.

You can take the drink with you

Downtown Savannah lets you carry a drink on the street in a plastic cup. See the to-go cup zone for the rules and which bars are inside it.
